New proactive measures as of Feb. 23

In response to the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases among students, today (Feb. 23) we are implementing additional new and proactive measures. These temporary measures include:

• providing undergraduate and graduate students the option to take all classes through distance learning, either from campus or from home, while we continue to have in-person classes. This new option is effective from Thursday, Feb. 25, until Monday, March 8 (note Feb. 24 is a day of reflection and no classes are scheduled);

• in-person classes will continue and the Unistructure, Quinlan/Brown Academic Innovation Center, Krupp Library, and Chace Wellness and Fitness Center will remain open. Campus dining in Salmanson Dining Hall and venues across campus will continue operations. Athletic events will continue as previously scheduled, with no fans permitted in person. Current policies to secure the campus at 10 each evening and restrict visitors remain in effect;

• strict prohibition of student social gatherings beyond those that students live with, throughout all University residence halls and townhouses, effective immediately;

• moving all in-person club and social events online, also effective immediately.

Move to twice-weekly testing for students through March 1

Out of an abundance of caution, starting on Monday, Feb. 22, we will transition to surveillance testing for all students twice each week. The increased testing frequency will continue until Monday, March 1, and a further decision will be made at that time. Nearly 30% of Bryant students, including commuters and student-athletes, are already being tested twice or three times each week.
